"Check out questions I typically ask ACityDiscount customers that are buying Frozen Drink and Margarita Machines for the first time..

Margarita Machine vs. Blender?Efficiency and speed – it’s the two reasons why the restaurant industry prefers Frozen Drink and Margarita Machines. Pour and serve. That’s it! Besides, no bartender wants to make frozen drinks in a blender. It takes too much time away from the rest of the customers. And unless you’re at a beach-side resort, no customer wants to wait through four blender rinses for a margarita.

What kind of syrup do you plan to use?Some machines utilize one syrup, while others utilize two syrups simultaneously.

How much volume do you expect to produce? If you don’t expect to go through a lot a product, you don’t need a lot – or a larger machine – to start out.

Single or Multiple Dispensers?A lot of this depends on the answer above. But, multiple dispensers allow a bartender to serve on one side when the other side is low.

How visible do you want the margarita machines and frozen drink machines to be?The Grindmaster-Cecilware line of countertop products provide an eye-enticing display as customers can easily see entire the frozen drink mixture, while Frosty Factory’s products show less of the mixture; although, successful companies like Wet Willie’s place these larger machines side-by-side behind the counter, creating plenty of frozen eye candy.

Are Margarita Machines and other Frozen Drink Machines a season item for customers? I think it’s somewhat seasonal, but less than it has been in years past. Even in the Fall and Winter, we still sell quite a few."
